Lord’s Library editors offer a quick background on the Almighty God Prayer with Scripture, examples, and commentary.
The King James Bible portrays Almighty God as a being of immense power, sovereignty, and wisdom. The term “Almighty” emphasizes his omnipotence, his ability to do all things, and his control over all things. This divine power is accompanied by omniscience, the ability to see and understand all things, as described in Job 37:16. God is also portrayed as the ruler of all things, with the power to control the course of history and the affairs of men, as emphasized in Psalm 103:19.
In this light, Lord’s Library editors thought it would be helpful to compile the most popular versions of the Almighty God Prayer for the next time you want to begin a prayer with this salutation, below:
